Summary
When Feyre overhears Nesta informing Cassian that the family's teasing has gotten to be too much for her, she realizes that there are many things about her sister that she may not know. That she is not privy to. Things, perhaps, that are reserved just for her mate.
In an effort to understand the eldest Archeron better, her family attempts to investigate, only to come upon soft moments between Nesta and Cassian instead.
Cassian, however, wants nothing more than time to dote on his mate in private.
---
Or, 5 times the Inner Circle witnesses Nessian behind closed doors, and one time they're truly alone, based on the theme of respecting boundaries and learning healthy communication.

Summary
It’s said that an Illyrian warrior’s wings are his greatest point of pride.
For Cassian, that had always been true. Until they were broken to pieces behind him as he once again failed to protect the female he loved.
Until he learned that there was no coming back. That he would never fly again.
---
AU where Cassian loses his ability to fly in the final battle with Hybern, and Nesta and Cassian learn to heal together on more equal footing.

Summary
There is a single wavering moment in which it is just the three of them - Chani, Paul and his betrothed. As the world around her shakes and blurs, she looks into the eyes of the only boy she’s ever loved and she knows.
She knows that there is no going back, not for him or her. She knows that she lost him the moment they crossed the storm. Chani knows in the way she knew her mother was dead, that Paul is lost to her.
(His dreams turned reality, except she cannot draw him from his nightmares, from his sobs and cracking voice, from the hollowness in his eyes. He is gone. He is gone.)
But her people are alive, and she has never been fighting for this devastatingly lovely boy. So Chani falls to her knees, slowly and steadily, and when she lowers her head, it feels like the end of everything.
-
(In which Chani’s mother taught her that there was no shame in surviving in whatever way you could. Or Chani bends the knee to Paul and plays the long game for her people.)

Summary
“Then stop, Cassian!” She was shouting now, inches from his face. “Stop fighting for my life! I never asked you to! Forget about me and move on!”
A sparkling tear froze on the tip of her eyelash and he felt a triumph in it, this sign that she was in there somewhere. His hands ached for her. This had all gone so differently in his head.
“I can’t,” he admitted.
